Postmodenernist Theory

• Diliberately rejects the idea that there are highs and low culture.
• They tend to avoid rigid genre distinctions.
• Rather than conforming to genre distinctions, postmodernist took a preference of the following formats:
• Pastiche: A mixture of different forms.
• Prorody: A spoof version of genre
• Bricolage: Use of material avaliable despite the intended purpose.

• Irony: When there is tension between what is siad and what is meant.

• Very important concepts in postmodernism.
• Intertextuality is the way that one text may make use of another to add further.
